Without a leader they had no purpose, and when Cheetor and Nightscream approached them with an offer to join the Maximals they accepted, much to Thrust's annoyance: he snarled at Obsidian that if he was loyal to everyone, he was loyal to no one. The SiegeĪfter Megatron's seeming destruction, the generals were at a loss. While he didn't get to do much personally, Obsidian attempted to engage Savage/Noble in single combat, only to have one of his own drones smacked into him and then Strika thrown into him. When Megatron began to enact his plan for the Sparks, Obsidian and Strika were stationed to watch over the ground and air around the BFH. However, a power core thrown by Cheetor was hit by a shot from one of Obsidian's drones even as he was desperately telling them to cease fire, causing a huge explosion that sent him and his drones flying away in a fiery shockwave. Sent to a shell yard by Megatron and told to wait for the Maximals (as Megatron had sent Optimus a flash about the Sparks and their possible locations, which of course was a trap), Obsidian attacked the trio, outgunning and outflanking them easily. Obsidian's next major move was against Cheetor, Blackarachnia, and Silverbolt. And to betray Megatron is to invite death." Despite their advantage, Obsidian and Strika were unable to capture the Maximals due to Botanica's timely arrival, disrupting the drones' targeting systems and allowing the Maximals to escape. Revealing who he and Strika were, Obsidian informed Optimus that "Megatron IS Cybertron. Forced to barricade themselves inside the Counsel Citadel, Primal realized that they had been herded there, at which point Obsidian contacted him and offered the Maximals the chance to surrender themselves. Transforming to robot mode, Obsidian remarked "Although he took his name from a great leader, Optimus Primal never learned the first rule of warfare: NEVER underestimate your opponent." The Maximals were able to escape the trap, but found all of their escape routes blocked by drones, Rattrap surprised at the number of drones and Optimus realizing that it wasn't number but tactics their new opponents were master strategists. He rendezvoused with Strika and let the Maximals into a trap, as hundred of drones modeled after the two generals surrounded them. When Optimus tried to reason with him, Obsidian merely fired at him and transformed, escaping into the city. Screaming "Obliterate!" repeatedly, he pursued Silverbolt but was tackled by Optimus Primal, sending both crashing into the ground. Obsidian was quick to act against the Maximals, ambushing Silverbolt and Nightscream with Strika. Obsidian's Universe and Wings Universe profiles “Ĭontrol the air and you control the battle. Obsidian is sometimes a former Autobot or a former Predacon. He dropped the word when the ruse was over. While he was pretending to be dumber even than Tankor, his activation code (and, indeed, his entire vocabulary) was "obliterate". a question that has given Obsidian pause. As his fellow Vehicon general Thrust has remarked, "If you're loyal to everybody, can you really be loyal to anybody?". He is loyal only to the planet, and perhaps his consort Strika, not to any moral ideals. Whoever happens to be in charge, whether a benevolent or malevolent force, in his reasoning, is Cybertron. Though he is sophisticated and canny, able to concoct strategies with layers upon layers, his purpose is single-minded. Obsidian and his consort Strika have fought for Cybertron in countless battles. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
